Frankie Barnhill of Boise State Public Radio writes:Hargis doesn't create your typical self-portraits. The Boise State grad student stretches the idea of self-portraiture beyond the realist bounds. He’s not afraid to experiment with expression, media and – even costuming. Hargis says wearing different clothes lets him see into a different world, and get a new perspective on himself. He has a collection of scarves, hats and wigs he'll use while he draws his self-portraits.

“Honestly, it would just be boring if I just sat and looked at myself as I am all the time," he says.
